No. 4: Losing My Religion, R.E.M.
Consider this the hint of the century: Worldwide hit (No. 1 in Belgium and the Netherlands) came in 5th in the Bluesky #REMTop30. Award-winning video directed by Tarsem Singh. Oh no, I've said too much.

No. 13: Walk Unafraid, R.E.M.
This song made my Top 5 in the #REMTop30. In an interview with Michael Goldberg, Stipe said "Walk Unafraid" is his “favorite mantra.” For me, it's a powerful message to the #LGBTQ community. #pride

Bonus track 7. #9 Dream. Single. 2007
What? You though it was over? No chance. I could go on with numbers 30 to 60. This Lennon cover's profits went towards relief for the humanitary crisis in Darfur.
Was it just a dream?

1. Man on the Moon. Automatic for the People. 1992
You can hear the song without listening to it. That's how good this is.
Hey baby, are we having fun?

2. Gardening at Night (Alternate Vocal Mix). Eponymous. 1988
This version is 100 times better. This song along was played with the next one in their 2007 Rock & Roll HOF induction ceremony.
They said it couldn't be arranged

No. 17: Fall on Me
My favorite R.E.M. song reached No. 94 on the Hot 100, but it did make it to No. 5 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks. On the #REMTop30 challenge, this made it No. 1.

Released as part of a tribute to psychedelic rock legend Rocky Erickson, this true rarity is the only track with the lead vocals of all 4 original band members.
Yes, I walked with a zombie last night

4. I Believe. Lifes Rich Pageant. 1986
There's been tons of discussion around the lyrics "example is the checker to the key". To me it means this is a great song.
Practice makes perfect, perfect is a fault, and fault lines change
